I always liked the tonality of Kodachrome film of the 30s and 40s. It had a great color palette. Kodachrome had more poetry in it than other film stock, a softness, an elegance.

I know that it is not entirely possible to emulate the characteristics of Kodachrome in the FS100, but I tried to come as close as possible.

K-Tone Picture Profiles are the first “out of the box” profiles I made. That means, it does not require color grading (of course you can grade it though if you want).
I look at it, as I look at specialty lenses. Some odd vintage glass, that I may find on a flea market for a few bucks and adapt it on the camera for some special looks and shots.
What I want to say is, this is not an everyday production profile. It´s more experimental, vintage, sweet-home-Alabama looking.

I´m not exactly there yet - still needs some work, but here is a quick preview:

Beautiful. I hope you share these profiles after you finish tweaking them. Impressive.

Truly excellent! Thanks for posting. Looking forward to the profile settings.

Wow, very impressed. How would you characterize the Kodachrome look compared to a stock profile.

Okay, here comes the first version (0.6).
Play with it and let me know, what you think.
